MacOS – Enforce maximum content width in Safari (Lion full-screen on big monitor)

fullscreenmacossafari

Web sites vary as to whether they enforce a maximum width for the content within the window. When running Safari full screen on Lion, is there a simple way (without rolling up my sleeves and playing with style sheets) to establish my own maximum width? Lines of text are too long if I happen to be connected to my 24" monitor, but I like how this full screen mode maximizes vertical space.

You can change the width of each page in full-screen Safari.

Move your cursor all the way to either side of the 'window', until you see the normal window resize cursor. Click and drag in, and the 'window' will shrink horizontally.

You can set a different width for each tab.
